This paper examines the effectiveness of foreign aid designed to increase the export capacity of recipient countries. To achieve this, the authors estimate the impact of aid for trade (AfT) flows between donor and recipient states. Their findings indicate that aid for trade strengthens exports generally, although this outcome is more pronounced in recipient countries. This contradicts the view that aid is primarily designed with the donor country's interests in mind.
